This activity will get students sorting leaves and looking at different percentages as well as getting them to convert between percentages, decimals, and fractions. **Teaching Structure: ** Before this activity students need to have an input on working out fractions and converting them to percentages and decimals. Take students outside and ask them to collect the specified number of leaves (ability dependent). Get them to complete the table by sorting out the leaves into certain groups before working out the fraction, percent, and decimal. This pack contains 4 levels of differentiation. Diff.1: Students will work out the percentage after collecting 10 leaves and sorting them into groups. Diff. 2: Students will work out the fraction, percent, and decimal after collecting 10 leaves and sorting them into groups. Diff. 3: Students will work out the fraction, percent, and decimal after collecting 20 leaves and sorting them into groups. Diff. 4: Students will work out the fraction, percent, and decimal after collecting 15 leaves and sorting them into groups. Please don’t forget to rate this resource to let us know what you think.

This activity is a great lesson to do before our ‘simple addition’ task cards as it’s slightly more adult led. Students will look at dividing a group of sticks into equal groups and seeing if there are any left over. It’s a great way to introduce multiplication and division to your students in a very visual and practical way. Teaching directions: Give your students an amount of time (1-2 minutes works well) to collect as many sticks as they can. Come back together with their sticks and get them to work through the differentiated worksheets. You can either let students complete the worksheet individually / in small groups or go through the worksheet as a group or class together. As you go through the sheet, try to introduce them to vocabulary such as ‘divide, division, share, remainder, etc. Please don’t forget to rate this resource to let us know what you think.

The tree age investigation is a great activity if you’re focusing on perimeter, measuring, or data handling. Your class will use a simple formula to figure out the rough age of the trees around your outdoor space, completing some fun challenges, or collecting data to input into graphs. This resource pack contains two different activities you could do when looking at the ages of trees. Challenge questions – For this activity your class will figure out the age of trees while completing the different challenges on the sheet. Data handling – Students will collect data by identifying trees and calculating their age. They will then use this data to complete bar graphs and answer some questions about their findings. Both of these activities work best in pairs as it makes it easier to measure the diameter of trees.
